For those of you who have asked, in lieu of flowers the Koza family would graciously accept donations in order to provide a college scholarship to a high school student. Our mother valued an education and would want to help someone make that dream a reality. Personal checks can be written to Kimberly Koza. Please denote Marlene Koza scholarship fund in the memo section.
Arrangements are by the Newcomer Funeral Home (East Orlando Chapel).
